There is no evidence to suggest that the dentist has been charged for work that was not actually done.
Yes, i have been in this industry for 10 years. i have done many treatments.
Literal is not a crime. It is not even a verb.
If work has been done and paid for, the new dentist is not responsible for it, since that work was finished by a previous dentist. If the work was paid for but not completed, then the new dentist must finish the work and take joint responsibility for it. if it was paid for but not begun, then it is a new job passed straight to him.
Go to the dentist
Yes. This has actually been done but it's not easy.
NOthing
Not legally.
Because everything is done in favor of the dentist. All the patient does is chock and pay the bill. The dentist gets rich in comfort while the patient pays the bill and suffers. If you lie down, it is easier for the dentist to sit there, but an open mouth makes a perfect funnel into the throat so that everything dropped by the dentist, and some things are, goes into the throat. Nearly every advancement made in the dentist business has been for the benefit of the dentist. The patient pays more but gets treated worse.
Treatment and regular cleaning and check up must be done with a licensed dentist. It has been said that toothache is one of the pain that men cannot completely ignore or endure so visiting your dentist for a regular check up is a must to avoid having bad teeth at old age.
If you go to the dentist at 9 AM and four people have to get there teeth cleaned then what time will you be done at the dentist?
A search for a dentist can be done at many places. 1800Dentist has listings of thousands of dentists. Mouth Healthy offers a search of American Dental Association member dentists around the country.
Did you have a chart done of the work he would do? If so, that is the amount you had agreed upon. If he did other teeth to be agreed upon later, that was his maldoing, and you should get estimates of cheaper dentists to present. Don't pay for things done that you did not know were going to be done when you were not AWARE! Its like going for a tire change, then having them give you a new engine and charging you for it. You might have needed it, but you didn't agree to it before hand, and you will certainly not pay for it now.
